We are gathering knowledgeable insiders (including you) to tackle these challenges together one by one.
We have learned some valuable lessons from the pandemic, which has brought about and highlighted many issues, such as environmental sustainability, supply chain shortages, talent attrition, and inflation. Additionally, we are now in the midst of an energy crisis where rising gas prices are threatening the businesses and livelihood of many.
Fashion is at a turning point. Many of us have to make decisions that will define this industry for years to come. There is much talk about our new normal, and how we should adapt to it. But let’s take a step further. What if we could all come together and define what fashion’s new normal should be? With the help of technology, we can play a more conscious role in this industry. Together we can lay the foundation for a bigger, brighter and greener future for fashion.
On November 8, 2022, we are gathering some of the best minds of fashion to explore how we can rebuild its future together. How can we turn these challenges into opportunities and leverage this regrowth in the best way possible? Most importantly, how can we contribute positively to this industry and pave the way for better business practices? Register now for our worldwide digital event to glean some valuable insights from industry experts on this subject.
‘Fashion at a turning point’ is a two-hour livestream event with five main topics of discussion, hosted by Chris Rowe. For each panel, there will be a guest speaker accompanied by a Lectra expert.
The state of retail conditions the supply chain, hence shaping the way we design, develop, produce and manage talent. In this session Deborah Weinswig will give an overview of the current fashion landscape, identify new trends and business opportunities for fashion companies to seize, taking a deep dive into digital twins, livestreaming supply chains and quick commerce.
Speaker: Deborah Weinswig, Chief Executive Officer and Founder, Coresight Research
With new consumer behavior, digitalization, direct-to-consumer players and economic conditions, how can retail companies focus and decide on which processes to change, and which not to? How can they forecast trends and opportunities better than their competitors? What are the fundamentals of achieving success in retail? Get these questions answered by our experts!
Speakers: Michael Lemner, Chief Executive Officer, Tim-Tam Consulting, and Greg Zemor, Chief Executive Officer, Neteven, a Lectra company.
In this session, we are going to examine some key takeaways from this pandemic and how fashion companies can thrive by building resilience and agility into their supply chain. How can they de-risk their supply chains and make them fault-tolerant even when the market is volatile and unpredictable? Get some tips on how to do so.
Speakers: Dr. Delman Lee, Vice Chair, TAL Apparel, and Mathieu Bonenfant, Vice President Marketing Strategy, Fashion, Lectra.
With environmental disasters happening across the world, such as the floods in Pakistan, drought in France, and forest fires in California, it is clear that environmental sustainability is a priority – especially for the fashion industry. While fashion companies are keen on becoming more eco-friendly by changing their practices, consumers are still unwilling to pay higher prices for their products. Instead of waiting for the consumer to change, how can they lead change? Is it possible to solve this paradox?
Speakers: Isabelle Lefort, Co-founder, Paris Good Fashion, and Elie Khayath, Elie Khayath, Corporate Social Responsibility Director, Lectra.
Fashion production cycles are getting shorter due to constantly changing trends. Fashion companies are implementing technology to speed up the design-to-production process but how can they strike a balance between innovation and protecting their savoir-faire? Talent management is becoming a tricky subject for fashion companies. They have to overcome the challenge of passing on traditional values and knowledge to the younger generation of professionals while keeping up with technological progress and speaking the language of these digital natives.
Speakers: Hans de Foer, 'Savoir-Faire’ programs Director, Institut Français de la Mode, and Katia Cahen, Marketing Intelligence Director, Lectra.
